The uilleann pipes are one of the most expressive, and most challenging, traditional Irish instruments to master.
They are made up of a bellows, an air bag, a melody pipe called the chanter, a set of regulator pipes for chords and rhythm, and three drone pipes.
Dicky Deegan’s Uilleann Pipes has been designed to make them feel natural to play from a keyboard while preserving the character and performance techniques of the real instrument.
The library includes two chanters with realistic legato, a full set of regulators including the rare bass regulator for left hand accompaniment, and three drone pipes.
The drones can be used just like the real instrument by toggling them on and off, or they can be played directly.
There are no keyswitches for articulations in this library. Everything is performed dynamically.
The chanters provide expressive legato and slides.
The instrument adapts to your playing in real-time. Allowing you to effortlessly perform ornaments and trills.
The player includes an optional lazy load feature to minimise memory usage.
Two sets of chanter samples allow you to control the natural attack and vibrato of the instrument using velocity.
Clean, unprocessed samples that are easy to place in any mix.
The chanter is the main melody pipe of the instrument. The library includes two chanters, in D and C♯, mapped across the upper range of the keyboard. Overlapping notes trigger legato transitions, while the retrigger function makes trills and ornaments easy to perform. The gliss control (CC64 by default) produces natural formant-correct slides, and velocity recreates the sound of playing on or off the knee. The pitch wheel can be used for expressive note bends.
The regulators provide chordal accompaniment and rhythmic backing. For the most authentic sound, play wide triads, as each regulator pipe can produce only one note at a time. Where the real instrument allows the same note to be played on different pipes, those subtle variations have been sampled and mapped across different velocities.
The three drone pipes can be switched on or off individually, just like the real instrument. Each drone has its own velocity-sensitive keyswitch to help prevent accidental triggering on DAW playback. Play a velocity below 64 to enable a drone, or above 64 to disable it. If preferred, the latching behaviour can be turned off from the interface.
